Dealer Notes
= Extremely detailed panoramic cityscape of Edinburgh, Scotland. Thomas Sulman (c.1834 - 1900) was an English architectural draftsman. Sulman studied at The Working Men's College between 1854 and 1858, where he was a student of, and later an engraver for, Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
He became a specialist in using hot air balloons to produce birds-eye views of cities including London, Oxford, Edinburgh, Glasgow and New York City. These views, as hand-coloured engravings produced with the help of London engraver Robert Loudan Sr., were featured in The Illustrated London News from the 1860s, and were sometimes produced to a fold-out six foot length
